✦ What this vote decides · AI summary, based on the text voted on

Parliament adopted a resolution on ensuring accountability and justice for Russia's continued attacks on civilians in Ukraine, condemning the war and calling for an immediate ceasefire. The text supports the International Criminal Court's work, urges full cooperation with its arrest warrants, and calls on the Commission to activate the blocking statute to protect the court. It also calls for cancelling Ukraine's foreign debt and stresses that accountability mechanisms must be applied universally, without double standards. Parliament asks the EU to suspend its association agreement with Israel, end military cooperation, and impose an arms embargo, citing inconsistent application of international law.

New here? How plenary voting works
A sitting
One day of voting in plenary. Each subject is a report, resolution, agreement or objection; they are grouped by kind of decision, and each group says what “adopted” means there.
The ballots
Members vote on amendments and on parts of the text first, then on the text as a whole. That final, decisive vote is the result shown at the top of each subject.
Who voted how
Only roll-call votes record each Member’s vote — open one for every name and the breakdown by group. A show of hands records the outcome only.
Document & procedure
Each subject rests on a document (a committee report, a motion, a Council or Commission text) and belongs to a procedure, the whole file that can span years.
Group badges
How most of a group voted: ✓ For · ✗ Against · – Abstained · ~ Split (no majority).
